Jermaine Pennant's Time With League One Club Gets Off To Unfortunate Start

Jermaine Pennant sealed a return to English football late last week by signing a short-term deal with Bury. The 34-year-old, who most recently played with Singaporean side Tampines Rovers, had been training with the club for weeks.

Pennant's time on the books at the League One side has gotten off to an unfortuante start.

The Sun report that Pennant had 'thousands of pounds' stolen from his locker at the club's training ground. A source at the club told the paper that there is a suspect.

The players think they know who has taken the money and have challenged him directly but he’s denying it, so it’s a difficult situation for the management to deal with.

You don’t steal from a dressing room. How can you build team spirit when one of your own is a thief?

Pennant had apparently been handed the money by a teammate shortly before it was stolen.

It is somewhat surprising that Pennnat even realised the money was missing. This is, after all, a man who once forgot he owned a Porsche Turbo.

Six years ago this week, it was reported that Pennant had been contacted by officials at Real Zaragoza after his car had been found abandoned at a local train station. Pennant had left it there to accumulate five months parking tickets after departing the club to join Stoke.

The winger initially denied that it was his vehicle, but, after being told it had the registration plate P33NNT, realised that it was, in fact, his car.
